3. California Has a Zero Tolerance Policy on Underage Drinking & Driving
Nationwide, a driver is considered legally impaired if their blood alcohol content is 0.08 percent or higher. But in the state of California, there is a zero-tolerance policy in place against underage drinking and driving. It is a civil offense.
California law stipulates: “It is unlawful for a person under the age of 21 years who has a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, as measured by a preliminary alcohol screening test or other chemical tests, to drive a vehicle.”
The punishment if found guilty is a license suspension of one year. A person who refuses to take a breathalyzer test faces the same punishment. Additional punishments, including jail time, fines or alcohol education programs, may apply depending on how high the blood alcohol content was at the time of the incident.
